Bike Expo will return to Manchester’s Event City Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th March 2017, and this year Road.cc has teamed up with organisers to help make the event bigger and better than ever.

The Expo will feature exhibitors from different cycling disciplines grouped into themed “Feature Areas”, a main stage hosting live interviews and coaching seminars, as well as stunt displays and maintenance workshops. The popular fashion show will be back, showcasing the latest clothing and gear, and perhaps even a little blue steel.

Road.cc will be one of the official media partners for the event’s third year with organisers hoping to capitalise on a boom in cycling’s popularity, not least with TeamGB’s Olympic medal-winning cyclists training in Manchester.

Road.cc editor, Tony  Farrelly, said: "We like a good show here at road.cc so as you can imagine we’re really pleased to be partnering with the Bike Expo for its 2017 edition. We’ve only heard good things about the two previous editions it is clearly going from strength to strength with lots of of exhibitors and features we’re sure will appeal to fans of road.cc."

In previous years, Bike Expo has hosted some big household names, including Sir Chris Hoy, Chris Boardman, Dani King, David Millar, Alex Dowsett, Rob Hayles and Matt Crampton.

Event City is the second largest exhibition space outside of London, a stone’s throw from the Trafford Centre and this year organisers have taken an additional 800m2 of space, which they tell us is already filling up fast.

As with previous years the latest bikes and technology from road cycling, cyclocross, track cycling, mountain biking and e-biking will be on display.

This year’s line-up is yet to be announced; road.cc will keep you updated as speakers are confirmed.

In the meantime, anyone interested in being a part of what promises to be an action-packed couple of days for the cycling industry, please contact colingale [at] hamerville.co.uk or rgeekie [at] hamerville.co.uk.

The point is that area of Trafford Park is particularly unpleasant to ride through. Central Manchester with all its flaws is actually much better.

Interesting choice a venue.

To get there by bike you'll need to negotiate: Motorway junctions, 3 lanes carriageways, 2 lanes carriageways, tram/rail tracks on the road, HGV traffic from Trafford park and the traffic coming in and out of the Trafford Centre...

With a bit of luck you may be able to access it by the canal tow path.

Well, yes, you could go via the canal or the cycle paths or cycle on the road. Perhaps it could have a more central location, but central Manchester is full of Motorway junctions, 3 lanes carriageways, 2 lanes carriageways, tram/rail tracks on the road and HGV traffic.
